A lot of people aren't going to invest that much time to figure out whether something is worth looking even further into or not.

Absolutely right.
We are in the process of fixing this.
The first step is putting a list on the website of practical aspects of BitShares and some screen-shots of the GUI to illustrate them.

If we don't improve the website, the most common reaction will always be this: "nice features but still I have no idea how they relate to my needs".

Well I appreciate the reply. By no means was I trying to be an ass with my post - it was more just trying to provide some insight from a newbie.

On a different note - I did purchase some bitshares over the last 24 hours. Figured I'd invest now, learn what the hell I'm holding later. It's usually how I roll =)

A new user posted a message on the forum the other day that i thought was revealing. He basically said its the concept is confusing, the website isnt doing a good job of explaining things.

I'm beginning to think our website and application isnt user-friendly or intuitive enough. I dont think there is anything wrong with the technology, i just think we struggle with the presentation. For example, look at ethereums home page and even DASH - both have videos for the users showing you HOW to use it. Wheres ours? We have a lot of text. If we're pushing MAS then everything needs to be easy to use.

Just my 2 cents.

Hello,

New user here. I created an account on your site just to add my 2 cents to this point. I'm new to BitShares and very confused =p I've actually been in bitcoin since 2012 and alts since 2013 but due to the vast amount of alt coins am not able to follow them all. I certainly have heard of BitShares and have know about them since they hit the scene but never took the time to figured out what's going on.

I've spent maybe the last 60-90 minutes on a combination of this site, bitshare's homesite and reddit/r/bitshares and yeah can't really put it all together. I get bits and pieces of it but I feel like I know 2% of what's going on. So yeah - thought I'd share that.

Well I don't know about you, but when I got in to Bitcoin (in 2011) I spent week after week, morning till night, reading everything I could about it.

And BitShares is a lot more advanced and capable of much more than Bitcoin. it's worth a little of your time  :)

Oh I totally get that and agree. I assure you I've spent countless hours learning on both the technical side as well as the investment side - yet there is always more to learn. Really you can't even keep up with the information fast enough.

I was just agreeing with the original post that I read where they were saying from a new user POV it was a little difficult to grasp what was going on. I totally get that there is a lot and that it takes more than a few hours to grasp the whole concept but a lot of people aren't going to invest that much time to figure out whether something is worth looking even further into or not. That is all ;)
